Description
The Jam2 is one of three packs in GoLite’s Ultra Series, designed for the core ultra-light customer. The Ultra packs (Ion, Jam2, and Pinnacle) offer maximum comfort at minimum weight for minimalist fastpackers, thru-hikers, backpackers, peak baggers, climbers, travelers, and day hikers.
An upgraded version of GoLite’s Jam Pack, the Jam2 is now available in men’s and women’s versions and has increased capacity. An ultra-light, multi-day pack, the Jam2 is designed for light and ultra-light backpacking, fastpacking, alpinism, winter day trips, rock and ice climbing, and summit bids. It features a roomy front pocket with watertight zipper, foam back pad, cord lock to secure the top, top compression strap, two angled side mesh pockets, ice ax loops, two side compression straps, a haul loop, and 3-liter hydration compatibility.
The Jam2 uses GoLite’s ComPacktor system, which lets you reduce the pack’s volume through two fixed compression anchor clips that convert a multi-day pack into a day-tripper.

It was a tough choice at first because there were other packs with more organizational pockets and "features", but in the end I went for this and did not regret it."
